Scientific paper

The magnetic field strength in the lobes of FRII radio galaxies and quasars is a vital parameter for understanding their energetics and dynamics, since it controls the internal energy density and pressure. The only way of measuring it is by observing inverse-Compton emission from the lobes, but existing detections are marginal and do not give a consistent value for the ratio of particle to magnetic field energy density in a typical radio source. XMM's sensitivity to extended structure makes it the instrument of choice for a systematic search for inverse-Compton emission in typical FRII radio sources. We have selected a small sample of such objects which will detect inverse-Compton emission, confirm its nature by determining its spectrum, and measure magnetic field strength to 10%.
